SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
The Village of Lemont has an ordinance establishing the location of all stop signs within the
Village. On January 3, 2025 the Police Department reviewed a request for a Stop Sign on
southbound Covington Drive at Camelot Lane. Village of Lemont Traffic Safety conducted a
preliminary assessment of the intersection and determined that the intersection bordered on
Covington Knolls South Park and that numerous pedestrians crossed the intersection.
Trustees and village staff have received numerous complaints from residents about the speed
of cars driving by Covington Knolls South Park.
ANALYSIS
Traffic surveys were conducted in the area of Covington Drive and Camelot Lane January 8,
2025 through January 16, 2025. That area of Covington Drive is the North entrance of where
Covington Drive is contiguous with Covington Knolls South Park. A 3-way stop sign already
exists on the south side of the park affecting northbound traffic.
During the survey period, 9,889 vehicles passed the instrument. The average speed of the
vehicles assessed was 26 MPH. The posted speed on Covington Drive is 20 MPH. There
were 55% of the vehicles with enforceable violations, resulting in a "High" enforcement rating.
Based on the report, the police department recommends the installation of the stop sign.
Consistency with Village Policy
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends authorization to install a stop sign.
